Detailed Answer
Touch typing is the ability to type without looking at the keyboard. You rely on muscle memory – each finger has assigned keys, starting from the home row (ASDF for left hand, JKL; for right hand). The index fingers cover the most keys; thumbs operate the spacebar. Touch typing allows you to keep your eyes on the screen (or source material), increasing speed and reducing errors. It uses all ten fingers systematically. In contrast, 'hunt-and-peck' uses one or two fingers and requires visual searching. Touch typing is a learned skill. Once mastered, typical speeds reach 60–100+ WPM.
